The following materials should be uploaded as one document (preferably a PDF), prepared in strict adherence to the guidelines below. Please remove any identifying information, including names and institutional affiliations, to ensure the integrity of the blind review process. Failure to include all components and/or remove all identifying information may result in disqualification.
Title Page With Abstract
Provide a 150-word abstract. You should state, in nontechnical language, the purpose and major findings of your study. Please include the full title of your monograph.
Table of Contents
Include a table of contents that lists major divisions and headings in the monograph.
Dissertation Monograph
Prepare a monograph based on your dissertation research that is no longer than 40 double-spaced pages, in Times New Roman, Arial, or Courier font, with 1-inch margins on all sides. This page limit applies only to the main part of the monograph and does not include the abstract, table of contents, or reference list, but it does include any tables or figures that are included in the main part of the monograph. Monographs that exceed the maximum length will not be accepted. If additional space is required to present details of a research instrument or to elaborate on some other vital point, an appendix of up to three additional pages may be attached.
Include a short title with the monograph and review it carefully to ensure that it does not include any identifying information.
References
Provide complete bibliographic information for all sources cited in the proposal. References should be formatted using American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition style. To accommodate the blind review process, if the submitter’s own publications are cited, the submitter should substitute the word Author in the citations (e.g., Author, 2019) and substitute all coauthor names with Coauthor (e.g., Author, Coauthor, 2019).
